LOCALS DEFEAT SPARTA
Clair Studer's North Canton Merchants defeated the East Sparta bunch
on Monday, 23 to 22, in a nip-and-tuck
affair in which Vern of the Invaders
was high point man with 10 and
Stickle reached the pinnacle for the
Merchants with 12.
The Spartans lived up to the best
traditions of their forefathers back
in (Confound it, someone swiped that
ancient history catalogue we had on
the shelf behind our chair and substituted a nurseryman's price list of
summer flowering bulbs and roots.)
So it is all off with the Spartans,
whether they come from East Sparta
or other parts of the compass. If
there is anything this writer despises
it is a catalogue snitcher. "There
ought to be a law."
Studer In New York
Thursday night at 8:30 the Akron
Y Triangles come to the Community
Building to be trimmed or hand a
trimming to the Merchants. It is
whispered that when Clair Studer was
in New York city last week he postponed eating breakfast until he had
consulted a crystal gazer on Tenth
avenue, but this bit of gossip Willis
Wood, physical director of the Community Building and match-maker for
the Merchants, denies.
Statement By Wood
"It is true Studer was in New York
last week," said Wood, "but not true
that he consulted a crystal gazer
ahout Thursday night's game. Clair
took a run over to Hoboken in New
Jersey and talked with one of the natives, but the only thing he learned
was 'Ach, himmel! By what should
I know Triangle ? Does you tink me
a algebra isosceles, eh? or a perimeter of simple equations?'
"That's as far as Studer went," said
Wood, "and I think you will agree
with me that that1 was far enough."
We agreed.
Hot Game Promised
The Akron Y Triangles have been
playing a great brand of basketball
this winter and the number of games
they have won stamp them as friendly-
foes the Merchants can not pass up
with a wave of the hand.
They will come here determined to
win, and Studer and Wood know that
the Merchants must let out every link
they have to capture the game.
IT IS necessary that Congress amend
the banking laws to such an extent that legitimate banks may be
protected from disaster as the result
of crookedness on the part of unscrupulous dealings by some of the big
banks in New York and Chicago.
Any person who is familiar with
the chicanery of the international
bankers and with the unsavory testimony brought out regarding the National City Bank of New York will
realize the imperativeness of such a
move.
A5
Remained "Sober"
THE financial drunk America went
on is raising Old Ned today.
Banks closed, and men and women losing- confidence in even themselves, i A few, recognizing the law of
action and reaction which prevails in
all human affairs, took occasion to live
with due simplicity and provide a surplus by careful, conservative and diversified investment for the time
when the pendulum would swing back
and bring the years of curtailed business and absence of huge profits.
Such people remained "sober," and
they are now able to survive the lean
period. Judging from human history
it does not seem at all likely that the
fortunes which have disappeared
since 1929 will reappear at the point
where they dropped out of sight. It
is necessary to be on the lookout for
the unexpected.
The Improvident
S I have said before in this column, it is the thrifty and provident who in periods of crisis have
to support the thriftless and improvident. (There are exceptions, of course,
in all walks of life, and such people
have my profound sympathy).
If the throe years' that have just
gone into history have taught any lesson in practical living it is the need
of being prepared for the unexpected.
In fact, experiences of the past three
years of panic and depression should
have pounded that lesson into the consciousness of every thinking person.
If, during the previous seven years
of prosperity people generally had
made the same provision for the lean
years as did the dictator Joseph in the
ancient history of Egypt, most of the
sulfering of this present era might
have been prevented.

Two widely known gospel singers,
Mr. and Mrs. Karl Gooseman of Canton, will be guests of The Community
Christian church on Sunday night and
sing for the congregation.
Karl and his wife are in great demand and a well-filled church of lovers of good singing usually greet them
wherever they go. Sunday night, The
Sun believes, will be no exception.
The Rev. George Shurtz, pastor of
the First Congregational church of
Canton, will be the guest speaker. The
Rev. M. A. Cossaboom, pastor of The
Community Christian church, will preside.
L. T. L. MEETING
Will Bi
Held In Community Building
On Thursday.
The L. T. 1j. meeting will be held

Lillian Jane Shook, assisted by
Mrs. A. O. Musgrave, will conduct
the meeting.
OME people—non-thinkers is
lite classification—imagine
President Roosevelt has merely
to wave a wand and presto! America
becomes a land of milk -and honey.
Non-thinkers outnumber thinkers in
this land of the free and home of the
brave. A survey recently made by-
one of the great eastern universities
showed that "nearly 40,000,000 Americans are in the ten-year old class,
mentally."
Think of il! Forty million persons
think and act like children in the
grade school.
Alexander Hamilton no doubt smiled broadly when he heard the news,
and Thomas Jefferson groaned.
Too many persons depend upon the
other fellow. They call it faith. That
is the reason they do not worry. "The
more you know, the more you have to
worry about" is their motto.
Support the President
THIS writer has faith that President
Roosevelt will accomplish much,
but I have a firm conviction that
he will accomplish only that which
00,000,000 people aid him to accomplish.
The Shade of Hamilton wil! not
agree with the above opinion, unless
he has revised his views since he entered the Land of Spirits. But this is
1933, and people are getting . away
from the old idea that a few' men are
put on this earth to dominate the
peoples of the world. True, they are
not breaking any speed records "getting away from the old idea," as a
glance at many of the fellows they
place in lucrative State and county
offices proves.
President Roosevelt will perform to
the- best of his ability. Co-operation
will aid him—carping criticism will
only hinder him.
Herbert Hoover soon learned after
he entered the White House that the
Corner Crooners were on his trail.
President Roosevelt will have the same
old gang- of nit-wits and moochers
yelping at his heels. No President,
from Washington down, escaped unjust criticism. We prate about "fair
play" in this country, but rarely practice it with our public men. We seem
to think they are fair game for all
the abuse we can heap upon them.
SEVEN years ago the average man
man squandered money like a
drunken sailor ashore after a long
voyage. To my own knowledge the
wives of men then employed as printers on The Sun spent on an average
ten dollars a week for amusements.
One young- typesetter paid $15 for a
pipe and threw it away a month or so
later because "this style of pipe is
going out of fashion."
Not one of those men owned a book
dealing with printing; not one spent
ten minutes' time studying the dictionary, and yet good spelling- is absolutely essential in the printing
business. They relied on the "front
olfice" to correct their mistakes.
Where these men are today I know
not. No doubt drifting from place to
place, prating about the days when
they "found easy money" and employers "suckers" enough to pay it.
Preparedness
PREPAREDNESS is a word 1 like.
"Fitness" is another good word.
In some form or other this problem of fitness arises everywhere. So
vital is this question of fitness that it
is not surprising to find that the Master had something to say about it. In
those who would be His followers He
also demanded a certain spirit.
In the world of sports an athlete
must keep fit. In a boat race between
universities a few years ago, one of
the. crew of the second boat, in anxious curiosity, glanced around to see
how their rivals were rowing. It was
of course a fatal blunder and the crit- i
cism made of that man was that "he
was not fit for a place."
A race of that kind makes its own
stern demands, and a man unable to
curb his curiosity was unfit.
Fitness is everything, in work or in
games, all the disciplined powers
working together for the goal.
Director Zengler
Howard Zengler, who directed "The
Plungers," first disclosed himself to
the consciousness of theatre-lovers in
North Canton several years ago. After he drilled the first cast people
realized that they had a real director
in Zengler, and from that time to the
present he has been going with
smoothness -and skill.
A lover of a clean play when it is
properly acted, Zengler realizes his
limitations in a town the size of
North Canton, consequently he does
not ask his characters to over-reach
themselves.
Zengler has again demonstrated
that he is a visualizer able to translate an author's script into a well-
acted play. For this he deserves the
hearty thanks of all lovers of the
spoken word.

TO SPEAK MARCH 20
He Is Coming To North Canton
As the Guest of The Woman's
Club and He Will Be Heard On
the Subject "Important
Things"—Professor At Western Reserve University.
MEETING OPEN TO PUBLIC
North Canton American Legion's
annual comedy-drama was seen in the
Community Building on Friday and
Saturday nights. An orchestra of many
musicians, with Mrs. Clark Weill at
the piano, played in excellent form
and well deserved L.-words of praise
heard from the audience. This is
known as Zion Reformed church or-j Garry Cleveland

On the second night Irl Brattcn's
Orchestra played in the only way it!
always plays—high class. ;
Story of the Play j
"The Plungers" i.s the name of thc |
vehicle. Briefly the story is this: A
young attorney in Ohio is living happily with his father and mother when
four men from Wall Street, New
York, induce the parents to invest
their life's savings in an oil field in
the southwest. The oil well is a swindle and father and mother find themselves penniless. Within two 'years
they are dead, and their son goes to
New York determined to wreak vengeance upon the tricksters.
He enters Wall Street, learns the
ins and outs of the stock exchange
and within a short time is a power
in the Street. He secures the names
of three of the swindlers and by his
clever manipulation of stocks reduces
them to poverty. But the name of
the fourth man he is unable to learn.
He Meets the Girl
The story opens here. Two young
ladies, June Burroughs (Kay Harsh)
The Woman's Club of Norlh Canton will sponsor an open meeting to
be held in The Community Christian
church on Monday evening, March 20,
at 7:.'i0. A free will oll'ering will he
taken.
The attractive feature will lie a
guest speaker, the widely known Dr.
Myers.' Dr. Myers
subject "Important
some-
1N VIEW of the current intense popularity of sports, the playing field
is the best place to discover what
fitness means. There the tests are severe. Men who do not dedicate themselves to the game, soon fall out or
are fired out. Some come to the front
in sports for a season or two,
then are heard of no more.
On inquiry as to the cause, the j er, John Burroughs
answer given is: "Oh, he didn't keep I seeking subscriptions
fit." In plain words he refused to pay
the price in discipline, and another, a
'more disciplined man, got his place.
The concentration demanded of a
ploughman is a mild form of the concentration required of one who would
excel in basketball, baseball, boxing,
tennis, running or in rowing.
Like all other tasks, whether fishing, sowing, or building, ploughing
makes its own demands. It is not as
easy as it may seem to the outsider.
A ploughman is not much good until
he has learned the art of the furrow.
Obviously he must have his mind on
his task. He must have the power of
intentness.
Things" and his topic will deal
whal with phases of home life.
Author of Several Books
Dr. Myers is the author of several
books, among the number being ''The
Modern Parents," and "The Learner
and His Attitude." He is the head of
the division of parent education at
Western Reserve University, and an
active leader in the Parent-Teacher
association. He is acknowledged one
of the leading and most modern educators in America.
A Severe Critic
Dr. Myers criticizes severely many
ills existing in America's public-
school system. Coming from a man
of his standing his views will no doubt
prove of interest to all who attend
The Woman's1 club meeting in The
Community Christian church on Monday evening.

GYMFEST LAST NIGHT
Forly Athletes lake 1'ari — .'\i-\i
.Meeting In April.
Automobile snitchers were busy in
and around North Canton the early
part of this week and while they did
not succeed in stealing any cars they
cume so close fo doing it that the
owners gol a good scare.
Edward Gross i.s thanking a neighbor for saving his auto. The man saw-
Ed's car being pushed out of the garage without any lights and he called, "Need any help, Ed'.'"
Immediately two' young men ran
from the car and escaped in the darkness. This happened about midnight.
Lock Cars and Garage
The police department, through The
Sun, warns people to lock their cars
and then lock the doors of the garage
With radios going full bang and uutos
tearing up and down streets it is comparatively easy for a couple of young-
men to move "a car out of a garage
and then drive it away.
Woman Saves Car
An auto was parked on Harman
street on Monday night. Three young-
men stepped out of their machine on
the opposite side of the street and
approached the parked car. They
tried the door. It was evidently locked. One of the men went over to his
auto for a tool of some kind. A woman standing on her porch witnessed
the actions of the men, and her suspicions were aroused.
Opening the door of her home, she
called out to her husband, "Ring for
the police. There is something peculiar going on out here."
The young men heard her, and in
almost less time than it takes to
tell, they were in their own car and
speeding up the alley.
Keep Doors and Windows Locked

when it was perfectly safe to leave

The Play
The Norlh Canton Post of the |
American Legion is highly gratified |
at the way that the general public received the play, "The Plungers." Much
favorable comment was heard on the
timely theme of the play, on the acting, the directing, on the scenery, and
for the wholesome entertainment that
it alfnrded. The Post is glad that the
part it plays in putting on these
shows is recognized by many as a
real community service.
The scenery for the play wa.s furnished by the Aladdin Scenic Studios
of Canton, whose manager is Charles
Mills.
Thanks are especially due to the
Reformed church orchestra and to
Brattcn's orchestra for furnishing
music that added so much to the completeness of the shows, to The Sun
for the publicity it gave, to the business and professional men of the community whose names appeared on. the
programs and who helped to finance!
the project, and particularly to the1

that everything considered, it was one I

Clair Studer's North Canton Merchants defeated the East Sparta bunch
on Monday, 23 to 22, in a nip-and-tuck

was high point man with 10 and
Stickle reached the pinnacle for the

The Spartans lived up to the best
traditions of their forefathers back
in (Confound it, someone swiped that
ancient history catalogue we had on
the shelf behind our chair and substituted a nurseryman's price list of

So it is all off with the Spartans,
whether they come from East Sparta
or other parts of the compass. If
there is anything this writer despises
it is a catalogue snitcher. "There
ought to be a law."
Studer In New York
Thursday night at 8:30 the Akron
Y Triangles come to the Community
Building to be trimmed or hand a
trimming to the Merchants. It is
whispered that when Clair Studer was
in New York city last week he postponed eating breakfast until he had
consulted a crystal gazer on Tenth
avenue, but this bit of gossip Willis
Wood, physical director of the Community Building and match-maker for
the Merchants, denies.
Statement By Wood
"It is true Studer was in New York
last week," said Wood, "but not true
that he consulted a crystal gazer
ahout Thursday night's game. Clair
took a run over to Hoboken in New
Jersey and talked with one of the natives, but the only thing he learned
was 'Ach, himmel! By what should
I know Triangle ? Does you tink me
a algebra isosceles, eh? or a perimeter of simple equations?'
"That's as far as Studer went," said
Wood, "and I think you will agree
with me that that1 was far enough."
We agreed.
Hot Game Promised
The Akron Y Triangles have been
playing a great brand of basketball
this winter and the number of games
they have won stamp them as friendly-
foes the Merchants can not pass up
with a wave of the hand.
They will come here determined to
win, and Studer and Wood know that
the Merchants must let out every link
they have to capture the game.
IT IS necessary that Congress amend
the banking laws to such an extent that legitimate banks may be
protected from disaster as the result
of crookedness on the part of unscrupulous dealings by some of the big
banks in New York and Chicago.
Any person who is familiar with
the chicanery of the international
bankers and with the unsavory testimony brought out regarding the National City Bank of New York will
realize the imperativeness of such a
move.
A5
Remained "Sober"
THE financial drunk America went
on is raising Old Ned today.
Banks closed, and men and women losing- confidence in even themselves, i A few, recognizing the law of
action and reaction which prevails in
all human affairs, took occasion to live
with due simplicity and provide a surplus by careful, conservative and diversified investment for the time
when the pendulum would swing back
and bring the years of curtailed business and absence of huge profits.
Such people remained "sober," and
they are now able to survive the lean
period. Judging from human history
it does not seem at all likely that the
fortunes which have disappeared
since 1929 will reappear at the point
where they dropped out of sight. It
is necessary to be on the lookout for
the unexpected.
The Improvident
S I have said before in this column, it is the thrifty and provident who in periods of crisis have
to support the thriftless and improvident. (There are exceptions, of course,
in all walks of life, and such people
have my profound sympathy).
If the throe years' that have just
gone into history have taught any lesson in practical living it is the need
of being prepared for the unexpected.
In fact, experiences of the past three
years of panic and depression should
have pounded that lesson into the consciousness of every thinking person.
If, during the previous seven years
of prosperity people generally had
made the same provision for the lean
years as did the dictator Joseph in the
ancient history of Egypt, most of the
sulfering of this present era might
have been prevented.

Two widely known gospel singers,
Mr. and Mrs. Karl Gooseman of Canton, will be guests of The Community
Christian church on Sunday night and
sing for the congregation.
Karl and his wife are in great demand and a well-filled church of lovers of good singing usually greet them
wherever they go. Sunday night, The
Sun believes, will be no exception.
The Rev. George Shurtz, pastor of
the First Congregational church of
Canton, will be the guest speaker. The
Rev. M. A. Cossaboom, pastor of The
Community Christian church, will preside.

On Thursday.

Mrs. A. O. Musgrave, will conduct
the meeting.
OME people—non-thinkers is
lite classification—imagine
President Roosevelt has merely
to wave a wand and presto! America
becomes a land of milk -and honey.
Non-thinkers outnumber thinkers in
this land of the free and home of the
brave. A survey recently made by-
one of the great eastern universities
showed that "nearly 40,000,000 Americans are in the ten-year old class,
mentally."
Think of il! Forty million persons
think and act like children in the
grade school.
Alexander Hamilton no doubt smiled broadly when he heard the news,
and Thomas Jefferson groaned.
Too many persons depend upon the
other fellow. They call it faith. That
is the reason they do not worry. "The
more you know, the more you have to
worry about" is their motto.
Support the President
THIS writer has faith that President
Roosevelt will accomplish much,
but I have a firm conviction that
he will accomplish only that which
00,000,000 people aid him to accomplish.
The Shade of Hamilton wil! not
agree with the above opinion, unless
he has revised his views since he entered the Land of Spirits. But this is
1933, and people are getting . away
from the old idea that a few' men are
put on this earth to dominate the
peoples of the world. True, they are
not breaking any speed records "getting away from the old idea," as a
glance at many of the fellows they
place in lucrative State and county
offices proves.
President Roosevelt will perform to
the- best of his ability. Co-operation
will aid him—carping criticism will
only hinder him.
Herbert Hoover soon learned after
he entered the White House that the
Corner Crooners were on his trail.
President Roosevelt will have the same
old gang- of nit-wits and moochers
yelping at his heels. No President,
from Washington down, escaped unjust criticism. We prate about "fair
play" in this country, but rarely practice it with our public men. We seem
to think they are fair game for all
the abuse we can heap upon them.
SEVEN years ago the average man
man squandered money like a
drunken sailor ashore after a long
voyage. To my own knowledge the
wives of men then employed as printers on The Sun spent on an average
ten dollars a week for amusements.
One young- typesetter paid $15 for a
pipe and threw it away a month or so
later because "this style of pipe is
going out of fashion."
Not one of those men owned a book
dealing with printing; not one spent
ten minutes' time studying the dictionary, and yet good spelling- is absolutely essential in the printing
business. They relied on the "front
olfice" to correct their mistakes.
Where these men are today I know
not. No doubt drifting from place to
place, prating about the days when
they "found easy money" and employers "suckers" enough to pay it.
Preparedness
PREPAREDNESS is a word 1 like.
"Fitness" is another good word.
In some form or other this problem of fitness arises everywhere. So
vital is this question of fitness that it
is not surprising to find that the Master had something to say about it. In
those who would be His followers He
also demanded a certain spirit.
In the world of sports an athlete
must keep fit. In a boat race between
universities a few years ago, one of
the. crew of the second boat, in anxious curiosity, glanced around to see
how their rivals were rowing. It was
of course a fatal blunder and the crit- i
cism made of that man was that "he
was not fit for a place."
A race of that kind makes its own
stern demands, and a man unable to
curb his curiosity was unfit.
Fitness is everything, in work or in
games, all the disciplined powers
working together for the goal.
Director Zengler
Howard Zengler, who directed "The
Plungers," first disclosed himself to
the consciousness of theatre-lovers in
North Canton several years ago. After he drilled the first cast people
realized that they had a real director
in Zengler, and from that time to the
present he has been going with
smoothness -and skill.
A lover of a clean play when it is
properly acted, Zengler realizes his
limitations in a town the size of
North Canton, consequently he does
not ask his characters to over-reach
themselves.
Zengler has again demonstrated
that he is a visualizer able to translate an author's script into a well-
acted play. For this he deserves the
hearty thanks of all lovers of the
spoken word.

TO SPEAK MARCH 20
He Is Coming To North Canton
As the Guest of The Woman's
Club and He Will Be Heard On
the Subject "Important
Things"—Professor At Western Reserve University.
MEETING OPEN TO PUBLIC
North Canton American Legion's
annual comedy-drama was seen in the
Community Building on Friday and
Saturday nights. An orchestra of many
musicians, with Mrs. Clark Weill at
the piano, played in excellent form
and well deserved L.-words of praise
heard from the audience. This is
known as Zion Reformed church or-j Garry Cleveland

On the second night Irl Brattcn's
Orchestra played in the only way it!
always plays—high class. ;
Story of the Play j
"The Plungers" i.s the name of thc |
vehicle. Briefly the story is this: A
young attorney in Ohio is living happily with his father and mother when
four men from Wall Street, New
York, induce the parents to invest
their life's savings in an oil field in
the southwest. The oil well is a swindle and father and mother find themselves penniless. Within two 'years
they are dead, and their son goes to
New York determined to wreak vengeance upon the tricksters.
He enters Wall Street, learns the
ins and outs of the stock exchange
and within a short time is a power
in the Street. He secures the names
of three of the swindlers and by his
clever manipulation of stocks reduces
them to poverty. But the name of
the fourth man he is unable to learn.
He Meets the Girl
The story opens here. Two young
ladies, June Burroughs (Kay Harsh)
The Woman's Club of Norlh Canton will sponsor an open meeting to
be held in The Community Christian
church on Monday evening, March 20,
at 7:.'i0. A free will oll'ering will he
taken.
The attractive feature will lie a
guest speaker, the widely known Dr.
Myers.' Dr. Myers
subject "Important
some-
1N VIEW of the current intense popularity of sports, the playing field
is the best place to discover what
fitness means. There the tests are severe. Men who do not dedicate themselves to the game, soon fall out or
are fired out. Some come to the front
in sports for a season or two,
then are heard of no more.
On inquiry as to the cause, the j er, John Burroughs
answer given is: "Oh, he didn't keep I seeking subscriptions
fit." In plain words he refused to pay
the price in discipline, and another, a
'more disciplined man, got his place.
The concentration demanded of a
ploughman is a mild form of the concentration required of one who would
excel in basketball, baseball, boxing,
tennis, running or in rowing.
Like all other tasks, whether fishing, sowing, or building, ploughing
makes its own demands. It is not as
easy as it may seem to the outsider.
A ploughman is not much good until
he has learned the art of the furrow.
Obviously he must have his mind on
his task. He must have the power of
intentness.
Things" and his topic will deal
whal with phases of home life.
Author of Several Books
Dr. Myers is the author of several
books, among the number being ''The
Modern Parents," and "The Learner
and His Attitude." He is the head of
the division of parent education at
Western Reserve University, and an
active leader in the Parent-Teacher
association. He is acknowledged one
of the leading and most modern educators in America.
A Severe Critic
Dr. Myers criticizes severely many
ills existing in America's public-
school system. Coming from a man
of his standing his views will no doubt
prove of interest to all who attend
The Woman's1 club meeting in The
Community Christian church on Monday evening.

GYMFEST LAST NIGHT
Forly Athletes lake 1'ari — .'\i-\i
.Meeting In April.
Automobile snitchers were busy in
and around North Canton the early
part of this week and while they did
not succeed in stealing any cars they
cume so close fo doing it that the
owners gol a good scare.
Edward Gross i.s thanking a neighbor for saving his auto. The man saw-
Ed's car being pushed out of the garage without any lights and he called, "Need any help, Ed'.'"
Immediately two' young men ran
from the car and escaped in the darkness. This happened about midnight.
Lock Cars and Garage
The police department, through The
Sun, warns people to lock their cars
and then lock the doors of the garage
With radios going full bang and uutos
tearing up and down streets it is comparatively easy for a couple of young-
men to move "a car out of a garage
and then drive it away.
Woman Saves Car
An auto was parked on Harman
street on Monday night. Three young-
men stepped out of their machine on
the opposite side of the street and
approached the parked car. They
tried the door. It was evidently locked. One of the men went over to his
auto for a tool of some kind. A woman standing on her porch witnessed
the actions of the men, and her suspicions were aroused.
Opening the door of her home, she
called out to her husband, "Ring for
the police. There is something peculiar going on out here."
The young men heard her, and in
almost less time than it takes to
tell, they were in their own car and
speeding up the alley.
Keep Doors and Windows Locked

when it was perfectly safe to leave
doors and windows unlocked, and even

Telling of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary
The Play
The Norlh Canton Post of the |
American Legion is highly gratified |
at the way that the general public received the play, "The Plungers." Much
favorable comment was heard on the
timely theme of the play, on the acting, the directing, on the scenery, and
for the wholesome entertainment that
it alfnrded. The Post is glad that the
part it plays in putting on these
shows is recognized by many as a
real community service.
The scenery for the play wa.s furnished by the Aladdin Scenic Studios
of Canton, whose manager is Charles
Mills.
Thanks are especially due to the
Reformed church orchestra and to
Brattcn's orchestra for furnishing
music that added so much to the completeness of the shows, to The Sun
for the publicity it gave, to the business and professional men of the community whose names appeared on. the
programs and who helped to finance!
the project, and particularly to the1

that everything considered, it was one I
